Tamara was struck by realization. "You're right."Margot nodded. "So, don't take these dreams too seriously. If you don't want to repeat your past lives, it's better to keep your distance from Sebastian."What more could she say? Both of them didn't want to rekindle their past relationships. She couldn't do much to change their minds.Tamara nodded. "Alright! That's the plan!""By the way, what took you so long earlier?" Tamara looked at her in confusion.Margot shrugged. "I saw Benjamin.""He came here without inviting you?" Tamara was stunned.Margot explained, "He was with a woman in another private room. I don't know what they were talking about, but I didn't want to interrupt."Tamara stared at her and didn't know how to respond.Margot, however, remained calm. "There must be a reason for their meeting. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left school. Come on, I'll take you home."Tamara sighed. "I suddenly envy your level of trust."Margot gave a bitter smile. "What if this tr
Alex was taken aback. Before she could question him further, Jacob had already left the greenhouse.Tamara was standing not far away. She lowered her head and greeted, "Dad."Jacob remained silent and gave her a meaningful look before walking past her.Tamara immediately entered the greenhouse. Seeing that Alex was in a daze, she asked, "Mom, what did Dad say to you?"Alex heard her voice and immediately came back to her senses. She wore a gentle expression once again. "Nothing much. He just asked if I wanted to go on a business trip with him."Tamara asked, "Are you going with him?"Alex shook her head. "No, business trips are boring. I'd rather stay at home with you."Tamara smiled faintly. "Mom, let's go to Clacton while Dad is away."Alex was surprised. "Why do you want to go to Clacton?"Tamara answered, "Grandma and Uncle Jon can't stay in Londsville for long. And you haven't been home for a while. I think Grandma would want you to visit."Alex's eyes flickered. "I'll c
Tamara remained silent for a moment. "What you said is also very possible. Let's wait and see. She would probably take action if she found out the truth.""Alright, let's not think about it for now." Margot slumped onto the sofa.Tamara looked at her. "Why do you look so tired?"Margot squinted her eyes. "I don't know. I'm feeling really exhausted right now. I think I'll take a nap.""Okay, go to bed then." Tamara nodded.Margot got up and lay on the bed, grabbing a large rabbit plushie and hugging it close. She soon fell asleep.Tamara didn't disturb her and sat quietly at the desk, writing something down....Margot hadn't had a nightmare in a long time, and it was even rarer for it to be a vivid one.She saw Benjamin lying in her arms again.She cried heart-wrenchingly, feeling as if her heart was being torn apart.But she had been reborn, hadn't she? Why was she having such dreams? And why were they so vivid? Did she have to go through it all over again?No!She
Tamara could see Margot's worries and reassured her, "Nothing bad will happen. He's probably in a place where he can't answer the phone. Or maybe he doesn't have his phone with him."Margot nodded. "I'm not thinking otherwise." She was just puzzled about where he had gone and why he wouldn't answer her calls.Tamara suggested, "Should I help you locate his phone?"Margot shook her head. "No need for that. Let's wait for him to call me back. Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."Tamara refused, "You don't have to. Someone has invited us to dinner."Margot was confused. "Who?"Tamara smiled mischievously. "You'll find out when we get there."She led Margot into a car, and they drove for about half an hour before stopping in front of a barbecue restaurant.Margot looked at the place and commented, "This barbecue place is really good. In a few years, they'll have more branches in Londsville."Tamara nodded. "Yes, I've heard it's delicious. Let's go in.""Sure," Margot agreed. T
Joseph continued, "Even though he's your father, I can see that the two of you are not that close. This is a perfect opportunity to bring down the Simmons Corporation. Once that happens, Aunt Alex and you can both return to Clacton."Both Tamara and Margot fell silent.Was he serious? Was the Moore family going to end the Simmons Corporation in this lifetime instead of Elijah? Did that mean the Simmons Corporation wouldn't be able to escape from their fate?Tamara and Margot had the same thoughts running through their minds. However, it seemed that Joseph had already made up his mind, so they didn't comment on it.Jacob hadn't suffered any setbacks yet. Who knew if Joseph could actually bring down Simmons Corporation? In their previous life, Simmons Corporation went bankrupt because its financial chain was completely stopped, accumulating countless debts that couldn't be paid off. That led to Jacob's mental breakdown and, ultimately, his decision to jump off a building.
Margot and Tamara keenly sensed the tense atmosphere between the two men. Margot's eye twitched uncontrollably.Are they being serious right now?These two men don't even know each other yet. Why did the atmosphere between them feel so strange?"Uh ... Well, let's sit down and eat. I'm hungry," Margot quickly interjected to ease the tension.Benjamin nodded and took a seat next to her. "What did you order?"Margot pouted. "I ordered your favorites."Benjamin smiled adoringly at her.Margot urged, "Let's eat.""Alright." Benjamin nodded, looking like he would bend to her every wish.Joseph sat across from them. When he saw their interactions, he felt an unexpected surge of unhappiness. He was feeling unhappy—very, very unhappy.This mood came on quite suddenly, making him feel irritable.Tamara piped up, "Joseph, why didn't Grandma join us?"Joseph shrugged. "Grandma thinks that we young people can relax better when we eat together. She was afraid you might feel nervous
Jealousy filled the air, and Margot couldn't help but burst into laughter. "What's on your mind? Are you jealous?"Benjamin immediately averted his gaze. "Jealous? Why would I be jealous? You don't even know him."He raised his chin slightly, appearing quite confident in his explanation.Margot hooked her arm through his and gazed at him with a teasing smile. "Are you sure you're not jealous? How about I add him on my socials? After all, he's Tammy's cousin. I can easily contact him if problems arise," teased Margot. "No, you can't!" Benjamin immediately pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist. His eyes locked onto hers dangerously. He stated, "He's Tamara's cousin, not yours. What could be the reason for needing to get in touch with him?"Margot chuckled uncontrollably. "Are you sure? What if ...""No 'what ifs'!" Benjamin gritted his teeth. "You'd better be good, Margot. Stop thinking of someone else. You said it yourself before. You're going to be my future w
Margot smiled faintly, "It was a passing thought. Why are you being so nervous?"Benjamin gave her a look, clearly not believing her bullshit.He parked the car on the side of the road and turned to look at her. His eyes were full of affection, pulling her in."Margot, no one can stop us from being together. Not even ourselves." He looked at her solemnly and said, "I went to Natasha to make it clear that she shouldn't have any thoughts for me. I will also fight against my grandfather. Everything I do is for you."He gazed at her and confessed his love.Margot's heart thumped wildly, and she blinked. "I know."She knew his heart well.She was merely joking around earlier. She held his face and leaned over to kiss him.However, as she came within a few inches of him, she suddenly found herself immobilized.Margot clenched her teeth.Benjamin stifled a laugh and reached out to unbuckle his seatbelt, followed by a kiss.It was like he was trying to merge their bodies into one.
The bed was also adorned in striking white. Margot's bridal gown gradually slipped off, and her hair spread out behind her on the bed. Her smooth skin shone beneath the dazzling light.Benjamin stared at her. "Margot, you have to spend the rest of your life making up for your lies.""Okay," Margot agreed without hesitation.The temperature in the room rose, and the night had just begun.It was as Tamara said. Because of their tragic past, the heavens decided to bless them in this life. They lived happily ever after from that day onward.Benjamin successfully inherited the Inkling Corporation. A year later, Margot gave birth to a daughter. She resembled Benjamin and was as beautiful as a doll.Their little girl grew up in a loving family, and the love between Margot and Benjamin only grew with time. They developed Nammu Bay, transforming it into a popular tourist destination.Another year passed, and Tamara and Sebastian got married. The wedding was almost identical to the one fr
The newlywed walked into the wedding hall hand in hand.The wedding hall was also well-decorated. Shane, Trevor, Jacob, and Alex sat in the front row.The host congratulated the couple, and after the couple exchanged rings, the crowd erupted in cheers. The wedding went past quickly. And when Margot was led to her bridal room, she was still very much in a daze.Because of Margot's condition, she had to leave early and let Benjamin deal with the guests alone.As time passed, Margot grew more and more anxious. But she didn't dare move a muscle. Benjamin had told her to keep the veil on and wait for him.Margot had never been this obedient before. But she had no choice. Disobeying wouldn't do. What if her husband ran away?Just then, the door opened. Margot's heart tightened, and she immediately went tense in anticipation.A faint stench of alcohol wafted over, and she saw his shoes from under the veil.He was standing before her but made no move to greet her.Margot couldn't help
When the others saw Benjamin standing still in a daze, they all asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did he stop?""What is he thinking about?""Did he lose his mind because he was too excited to meet his bride?"Someone made a joke, and others burst into laughter.Downstairs, Sebastian exchanged looks with Tamara, who was upstairs. His gaze returned to Benjamin.The wedding had been going on smoothly. But it seemed that Benjamin's memories might be their biggest challenge.Now that Benjamin had recovered his memories, what would he do next?However, Benjamin quickly came back to his senses. He walked forward calmly until he reached the door. As his gaze swept over Tamara and Natasha, a small smile appeared on his face.Tamara piped up, "Mr. Inkling, Nat and I had planned to set up some challenges for you. However, considering the hardships you and Margot have gone through, those challenges seem trivial in front of you. So, I thought, why not give you a clear path that led
"Shit! Isn't that too ruthless?""Leave it to the four Moore brothers to pull this trick!""Stop standing around and start drinking!"Benjamin watched on without any change in expression. He turned to the last row of men and smiled. "I'll leave the first round to you."Those men were all eager to try. They rolled up their sleeves and loosened their ties, their eyes gleaming with excitement.Benjamin made room for them, and they eagerly stepped forward. They picked up the glasses and downed them in one gulp."Let's go!" The cheers that erupted motivated them further. But despite their fierce drinking, they were no match for the abundant alcohol. When they looked up, they found that they were only halfway through. Some of them were already feeling tipsy!Sunlight spilled onto the drinks. A gentle breeze caused ripples on the liquid, resembling scattered stars.The men noticed the entrance was within arm's reach, and they gritted their teeth to endure the torture.Harris was th
The morning sunlight bathed the earth, casting a brilliant glow on every corner of Simmons Residence. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. In the room, the styling team was already in position. They first helped Margot into the wedding gown and began styling her hair.Although Margot never decided on her bridal makeup, she did try each style. To surprise her, Benjamin accompanied her to try out the bridal makeup but kept the final choice from her.Now, dressed in the beautiful wedding gown, Margot remembered the makeup styles she had tried before, and a smile graced her face. Tamara and Natasha also changed into their bridesmaid dresses. The makeup artist was working on them when Alex walked in with a gentle smile. "Have you done your preparation for the challenges?"Tamara gave a thumbs up. "Don't worry, Mom. I won't let them take your daughter away easily."Alex giggled. "That won't do. We have to see if Margot agrees."Margot immediately exclaimed, "I'm all in favor!"
"You're right!" Tamara exclaimed, and the three women chatted for a while before gradually falling asleep.In the Inkling Manor, lights were on, and a festive atmosphere filled every corner. Wealthy young men who knew Benjamin gathered there, celebrating the night.A few people sat on the couch by the pool. There were various drinks on the table. Jack picked up a bottle and praised, "This is a good wine. It's at least 30 years old! You're going all out, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin's face carried a contented smile. "It's my big day, so let's all have a good time together."Jack gave him a thumbs up. "You're very generous, Mr. Inkling."The others laughed along.Benjamin turned to Sebastian and suddenly smiled. "Why are you so calm? When we go over tomorrow, I wonder what challenges Tamara has for you."Sebastian calmly muttered, "She'll only cause trouble for you."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "You're quite confident. I can't wait to see you eat your words tomorrow."Sebastian shrugg
Margot responded, "Yes, but I believe he will recover his memory soon."Joseph chuckled. "It doesn't matter if he does recover his memory. He loves you either way."A sweet smile appeared on Margot's face.He was right. Benjamin loved her with or without his memories. Nothing could ever change that.Joseph gazed at Margot for a while before shifting his gaze away. He turned to the night sky outside. "It seems that tonight will be a special one."Margot looked at him. "Do you have any plans for the future, Joseph?"Joseph smiled. "I will work for Moore Corporation. After all, I'm the only one in our family who studied business."Margot's eyes flickered. Joseph's life was still the same as in her past life. He would still manage Moore Corporation while the other brothers shine in their respective fields."That's great! I'll have a powerful backer now. I can just mention your name if someone bullies me. As the cousin of the Moore Corporation's president, no one would dare lay thei
Margot reached out to touch the wedding gown, feeling the expensive fabric. Every stitch and thread carried Benjamin's love for her. She looked up at Tamara. "I'm scared, Tammy."Tamara seemed to know what she was afraid of and hugged her close. "Don't be. This is real. It's really happening.Tears welled up in Margot's eyes. Tamara understood her the best. She feared this was just a dream, an illusion she would wake up from. There was no rebirth, cat-and-mouse games, or Nammu Bay destruction. Everything was just a trick her mind had made up.After all this time, Margot finally felt fear.She held onto Tamara tightly. Even when tears streamed down, Margot didn't dare to blink, afraid that she would return to a cold room if she did, a world without him.Tamara gently stroked her back. "Hold me tight, Margot. I'm real. You've felt the wedding dress. That's real, too. Nothing is an illusion. It was all real."Margot finally calmed down. She suddenly felt embarrassed. "Sorry about
"I do! I do want to be your daughter," Margot hurriedly exclaimed. She looked flustered. "I was just a bit overwhelmed. I never expected this. Aunt Alex, I …"Tamara laughed. "Since you're now her daughter, why aren't you referring to her as your mom?"Margot felt even more embarrassed!She grew up in an orphanage and had little concept of parental love. Although she had fantasized about having a mother like Tamara's, it was just a dream. She didn't have a mother. That was why she felt close to Alex. With Alex officially adopting Margot as her daughter, Margot gained a mother from that point onward.Margot's eyes watered. No matter how hard she tried to hold it in, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.Seeing this, Alex quickly took out tissues to wipe them away. "Don't cry. You'll get wrinkles if you cry."But the comforting words only made it worse.Margot threw herself into Alex's arms.Alex comforted Margot patiently, her eyes also glossing over.However, Jacob fr
